Did you like Fruit Fly? I did. I loved the way
@joshsilverauthor was all to happy to let his characters do grubby things, make the choices that, while weren't 'good' choices, they were the right ones for them.
It's exactly what I did with my queer short stories in (smooth segue, there) OLIVER WARREN'S SLIGHTLY FERAL -VOLUME ONE.
I didn't create a collection of good gays, oh no, they're feral has heck. But like Fruit Fly, they were interestingly feral, and the dumbass, terrible choices they make... all make that creeping sense that our (or, should i say MY) history is full of.
If you liked FRUIT FLY, I guarantee (with no actual guarantee, obvs) that you'll like SLIGHTLY FERAL.
VOLUME ONE is out now, on sale in LONDON (
